"A soldier will perform miracles for you if he thinks you care. Make an effort to take care of him and he will walk through hell, not because he likes war or wants medals or because of orders, but because he is part of something larger, a unit. He wants to do a good job, as recognized by those around him. He wants to be respected and seen as valuable." Painting by Francis A. Dahmer, Jr., Screenprint on paper, 1977 ( Source ) This online gallery features a portion of the works in the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum in Chicago, which contains works in various media created by vets from around the US.

I'll tell ya what you fucking dick head. If you had one gram the guts, determination, personal integrity and intelligence that the Cap. Caveman has you might be a measure of a man. But I can see that you are nothing but a whining looser that belongs in the swirling decomposing shit pile of society where you apparently crawled out of. Go back there and do everyone a favor…buy some donut holes and ... I read Sisu’s post and I started to write a reply in the same vein. But then I realized that everything would degenerate to reactionary posting. “Fuck you, man.” “No, fuck you, dickwad.” “Who you calling dickwad, you asshat wearing imbecile.” I was just reminded of that Old Testament saying, basically we would all be walking around eyeless if we applied the eye for an eye attitude. I think the hardest thing for a guy to admit is that he’s guilty of what he accuses the next guy of, but I’m not apologizing. I’m the typical stubborn SOB who’s conversationally confrontational. For what it’s worth, the Cpt has good points in his later posts although his original post still sounds reactionary and appears designed to automatically stifle the opposing view. The wording is not that good but the intent sure comes across that way. The ‘if you disagree with me, you’re a fool’ tactic, kind of like that statement, “Have you quit beating your wife?” I guess I also read that the Cpt thinks he’s uniquely qualified to speak of what goes on in Iraq, i.e., “I was there even though I’m not there now.” I disagree with that. It’s called thinking outside the box. Well, I have shit I have to complete today so I’m not gonna spend time here. There's a lot of things I don't understand about the world but I try. Have a good one, Sisu. Here's to ya Cpt is good for the soul.

Horses stolen, victimized near Echo Lake

Hardly. Translation: No, you didn't.

Maybe you didn't intend to offend me off the bat, in which case, I've overreacted. You definitely didn't miss a beat by replying with vitriol. No, on rereading the post there's enough there in your writing to take offense. Let's face it. You're not exactly Hemingway. Maybe you need a writing course. BTW, you seem to confuse someone's personal identity with beliefs that are floating around. If I post a story about how stupid George Bush is, that doesn't actually mean I personally believe it. A person who's fluent in rhetoric (not saying I am), can take any idea even if he's diametrically opposed to it and present it in rational terms as if he actually identified with it. Cpt, I don't believe you are stupid or cowardly but I do think that you are assuming too much in what others believe. This is just a game to me. A person would have to be delusional to think otherwise.

Dude, you jumped on my shit for just posting a fuckin' story in response to Fairweather wondering if anything was going to happen to the journalists. It didn't have anything to do with soldiers dying or getting injured. And, where do you get the idea that everything that's written is true? Seems you formed quick conclusions and carried them further than necessary. You have some anger management issues.

Cpt, go fuck yourself, shithead. You're low level of reactionary thinking shows you to be the cretin you are.

Caroline Sinz was in the Palestine hotel when it was bombed by the American troops. A shell ripped into her floor two rooms over. She was on the phone about to file a report and witnessed the mayhem firsthand. "I let the phone drop in the waste basket and I ran in the hallway to see what happened. I entered the room and I saw the Spanish cameraman that had been on the balcony filming like us. He was lying on the floor with his leg blown off. We tried to evacuate him to the hospital but it was total panic because the elevators didn't work anymore. We had to come down 14 floors and nobody was there." The FR3 footage clearly showed how the American tank aimed and fired at the Palestine Hotel. Incredibly her cameraman filmed the attack itself and was able to document that the shot came from an American tank. When she showed other journalists the videotape, they were shocked. "I was so surprised because in Baghdad we thought we were in danger from the Iraqis. And it was a shock that the Americans shot against journalists, against freedom of the press. And I think they wanted to do it like that. They wanted to shoot against the press to say, we are in Baghdad now and everything is possible so be careful." The American military claimed that they fired on the Palestine because there were snipers on the roof. And although Sinz's cameraman saw a few Iraqi with guns in the hotel, she claims that she never heard shots fired in the hotel. On that morning as she was about to file her report, all was quiet. CBC News: Deadline Iraq - Uncensored Stories of the War BTW, that 'blog' fellow is on assignment with MSNBC but his blog is non-affliated. It's actually a good account of what he's sees sometimes. It doesn't seem biased to me. He doesn't try to play the sympathy card for the locals and he doesn't beat the drum for the military either. For the record, he wasn't the one who provided that photo of the one-finger salute.

Hey, isn't today Tuesday Muffy?

one old beater, Diamondback mtn bike Bought it off a friend who ended up buying a carbon fiber Cannondale V, full suspension, hydraulic disc brakes, three spoke wheels, the works, about 3 grand. Mine was about $250

Yeah, I've had the typical game: quail, pheasant, deer, rabbit, frog legs, wild turkey. The weirdest animal I ate was raccoon. I didn't know what it was and someone said try this roast beef. It tasted greasy and was stringy. I was told after I ate a piece. I think the worst animal I ever ate was a sea urchin. Tastes like seawater and has the consistency of sand.

S&W .41 mag pistol. Impressive. Takes a steady hand. I'm assuming you didn't stalk or sweep an area, probably a tree stand. A friend of mine had a farm and he placed a salt block under his tree stand. Made it easy to get that year's deer. Looks like you tagged seven deer between the ages of 14-15. Equally impressive. Where I grew up, you were allowed one deer tag per season if I remember right. Most hunters would have their wives buy an extra deer tag though.

"Think of it, women can produce milk for as long as you keep them needing to. So I say we use this milk to make a cheese that would be very exclusive and expensive, and we could sell it to the French and possibly the snobs of LA, or people in California in general. Then we could expand upon this with having different kinds of cheese. Indian cheese, Chinese cheese and then blended cheeses American/Irish/Italian cheese, we would actually begin to recruit different women of the nationalities people desired to eat cheese from. Then the warriors of the GBMC could begin the selective breeding of high milk producing human heffers. Then we could expand even more by offering infused cheese like those above but where maybe we feed them only blueberries so the essence of it will make its way into the milk and cheese. Then after that catches on we will have famous person cheese, Cher cheese, Hillary Clinton cheese, people would pay to be on waiting lists for the possibility to eat cheese from super models. Then we would expand into ice-cream, yogurt, creams, dips, a whole line of human dairy products, I'll be rich beyond my wildest dreams. hahahhahahhahaahaa ( insert evil scientist laugh) and at the same time we will drain the money from the pockets of the French, Snobs, and just about everyone living in LA. This recovered capitol from the infidel whores will then be used to breed yet more Death Ducks and further the destruction of all things ant-cave." Source--anti-cave

j_b, I try to be fair minded but sometimes it's a stretch. And, it's incidents such as this that push me in a direction I'd rather not indulge. I am not Iraqi. I'm an American. That's about all I need to say. Later..., signing off for now.

Uh, note the wildlife on the tombstone. Maybe a drunk hunter mistook Santa's sleigh for wild geese.

Oh shit, Trask. I guess you wanted some opposition. Well, John Allen Muhammad, DC sniper, couldn't have killed his victims without his rifle. Er, wait a minute, the laws currently in place weren't enforced such as those regarding background check or proper documentation of sale? Philosophical question: I wonder if DOJ considers all service veterans who have firearms as potential terrorists? Not trying to sully their reputation but most are trained to fight. McVeigh probably couldn't have pulled off his deed without his Army buddy contacts, or operational mindset, etc. though I suppose the Turner Diaries heavily influenced his view of reality.

Next thing you know he'll start lumping all high caliber, semi automatic rifles, typical 'deer' rifles like 30-30s and 30-06s, with the SKS, one of the weapons banned from current purchase.

God damn it, Lummox! I'm gonna have nightmares tonight!

Random observation: Actually horse manure doesn't smell as bad as carnivore or omnivore poop. Now dog or human poop ungodly stench.
